The vehicle will shut off without any warning. No warning lights or anything, the vehicle just stalls in the middle of traffic, brakes or power steering doesn't work when vehicle shuts down. This can cause a very serious accident or death to myself and others around me. Help! This happened several times and when I take it to the shop they can't find anything wrong with because no error codes come up.

My 2006 dodge durango stalled out in the middle of traffic and caused me to be injured in a rear end collision because my PCM shut my engine down per design of the vehicle because my oil sending unit had a faulty wire and my PCM thought I didn't have any oil in my car which disabled my car completely by design of the manufacturer to keep my engine from damage because it thought I had. O oil. I have a faulty design product and not enough warning. I have been off work for a year with the injuries from the accident and luckily I wasn't hurt worse.

Vehicle has stalled several times in the middle of the road as well as not starting at irregular moments. I have taken it to the dodge dealership and auto repair shop. Each time to have something different fixed, first time it was battery and leads, next it was alternator, then new belt , and after each fix the problem would come back, finally an honest mechanic explained that I had to remove leads to battery for 5 minutes before car could crank again. This makes no sense. He checked cam sensor and crankshaft sensor - all good too. This has been a problem for over two years. The worst time was when I was not principal city street at rush hour with 3 children in the vehicle. Of course, I was more worried about getting the children out of the stalled vehicle and safely to the side of the street before pushing the vehicle to a nearby dodge dealership. It seems older dodge durangos like mine from 2006 have this come problem. Why hasn't a source to this problem been identified and a manufacturer recall solution been provided? Twice I have had the vehicle in a dodge dealership and new expenses for different things were prescribed, and none fixed the problem. Must the public wait until some dies on the road when this problem which leads to stalled vehicles have more accidents and then deaths?

I was driving during a rainstorm and my 2006 dodge durango started sputtering and stalled on the highway. We were fortunate enough to get the vehicle to the side of the road. After my car was towed & looked at by a mechanic I was told that water was running down the windshield & dripping directly on top of the air intake. The mechanic told me it was a common problem for the 2004 through 2006 models. After doing some research I found this to be true. I spoke with dodge and they told me that it was a design flaw and I could purchase a replacement updated cowl part # 55362453ak this part is supposed to divert the water away from the intake. I also found out that no bulletin has been issued for the public. In my opinion a vehicle that stalls because of the rain is an issue. It typically happens when the vehicle hits a 100000 miles due to the weather stripping failing. I also found out that when this happens the engines can become waterlogged and the engine can blow a rod through the motor when trying to start the car after the rain. Any research into the second generation dodge durangos should produce more information including electrical problems. Please look into this issue as I would hate for someone to lose a life because their vehicle stalled.

I am experiencing a problem with the engine cutting off in full drive situations, all of sudden my check engine light pops up and that's my pre warning that my truck is getting ready to turn off. It is hesitant sometimes and waits till I am complete stop or sometimes it totally shuts down while driving in traffic. Very scary.

Driving vehicle and it started to stall. Felt like the front end was ready to give out. Vehicle has been at the dodge dealership where it was purchased brand new. Mechanic is unable to determine the problem. All major maintenance and repairs have been at this dealership. Vehicle has 214,000 miles, but has always been reliable. Can't understand why it has taken a week to diagnose the problem. Had vehicle towed by aaa to dealership.
